maybe you say this in your book, but why require that elvis could still remain elvis while becoming 'an intellectual'? (you could be assuming two different things: one, that only certain people can make it into the group without - essentially? - changing, or two, that no one can.)
the other day my advisor (who is in her mid sixties) popped her head in my office and asked what record i was playing. she didn't recognize sly and the family when i handed her the box. not thinking very clearly i said that they were from her day (good reasons why not), and she said, no, ELVIS is my day.
